Effective Home Remedies for ”Laryngitis” Complete Guide of Home Treatment for Diseases

Laryngitis is an inflammation of your voice box (larynx) from overuse, irritation or infection.

Signs & Symptoms:

In most cases laryngitis symptoms last less than a couple of weeks and are caused by something minor, such as a virus. Less often, laryngitis symptoms are caused by something more serious or long lasting. Laryngitis signs and symptoms can include:

Bacterial infections, such as diphtheria, although this is rare, in large part due to increasing rates of vaccination

Chronic laryngitis

Laryngitis that lasts longer than three weeks is known as chronic laryngitis. This type of laryngitis is generally caused by exposure to irritants over time. Chronic laryngitis can cause vocal cord strain and injuries or growths on the vocal cords (polyps or nodules). These injuries can be caused by:

Inhaled irritants, such as chemical fumes, allergens or smoke

Acid reflux, also called gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Chronic sinusitis

Excessive alcohol use

Habitual overuse of your voice (such as with singers or cheerleaders)

Smoking

Less common causes of chronic laryngitis include:

Bacterial or fungal infections

Infections with certain parasites

Other causes of chronic hoarseness include:

Cancer

Vocal cord paralysis, which can result from injury, stroke, a lung tumor or other health conditions

Bowing of the vocal cords in old age

How To Cure:

Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar has antimicrobial properties that help fight infections and thus can be used to treat laryngitis.

Mix two tablespoons of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar and a tablespoon of honey in half a cup of water. To increase the effectiveness of this remedy, you can add a little cayenne pepper too. Drink it twice a day.

Prepare a solution by mixing one tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar in a glass of warm water. Gargle with the solution several times a day until you get relief.

Onion Syrup

Onion syrup acts as a natural expectorant and is an effective natural cure for larynx inflammation.

Cut up three to four medium-sized onions. Simmer the pieces in four cups of water until the solution thickens to a syrup-like consistency.

Mix five tablespoons of the onion syrup in a glass of warm water. Add one tablespoon of honey and a few drops of lemon juice.
